Abstract
795,779. Detecting surface flaws. SWITZER BROS., Inc. Sept. 24, 1956 [Oct. 12, 1955], No. 29082/55. Class 106 (2). [Also in Group XL (a)] A testing agent for use in detecting surface flaws in test bodies comprises a dye dispersed in a flaw-penetrating liquid selected from the class consisting of polyoxyalkylene glycols and aliphatic mono- and di-ethers thereof. If the liquid chosen is a water-immiscible one there may be added to this liquid one or both of the following: (a) a water-immiscible diluent such as a hydrocarbon oil penetrant, for example kerosene, and (b) an oil-soluble emulsifying agent, such as petroleum sulphonate or any of a wide range of soaps or detergents. The emulsifier may include a coupling agent which will assist the emulsifying agent in coupling a washing water with the oil constituent of the liquid to form an emulsion which will strip off the penetrant from the surface being inspected. The coupling agent is preferably a glycol, for example ethylene glycol. If the flow-penetrating liquid chosen is one miscible with water, water or a water-miscible organic extender may be used as the diluent and the emulsifying and coupling agents omitted. A water-immiscible penetrant can be used without an emulsifying agent where the emulsifying agent is incorporated in the wash water used for washing the penetrant from the surface of a body coated therewith or where the emulsifying agent is applied over the penetrant coated body by spraying or dipping before washing the penetrant from the surface of the article. The dye may be a non-fluorescent colour material or one containing a fluorescent dye responsive to ultraviolet light. Examples of suitable fluorescent dyes are quoted and the use of polyoxyalkylene glycols is stated to enhance the brightness of the fluoragent. Specifications 642,402, [Group XL (a)], 684,021 and U.S.A. Specification 2,259,400 are referred to.
